Product Description

THE FENDERMEN (singer/guitarists Phil Humphrey and Jim Sundquist) were classic One Hit Wonders, with their million-selling, manic reading of Jimmie Rodgers Blue Yodel #8, retitled Mule Skinner Blues, a worldwide hit in 1960.

It remains one of the very few hit records which is wholly uncategorisable, being neither Country, Rockabilly, R&R, straight Pop, nor a routine novelty disc.

The duo split in 1961 after recording just three 45s and an LP, all of which are nowadays hugely collectable.

This compilation comprises everything that Humphrey and Sundquist recorded together as The Fendermen in 1959-60, plus the handful of releases they each cut after splitting in 1961.

Many of these sides are serious collectors rarities, impossible to find elsewhere on CD, notably their lost original 45 recording of Mule Skinner Blues.

This release presents significantly improved sound quality compared to earlier, bootleg CDs which included some of these tracks
